What is the role of the Worshipful Master in relation to the three columns?
The available source discusses the columns associated with the Senior and Junior Wardens, which are used as emblems of authority to denote whether the lodge is at labor or at refreshment. The Senior Warden’s column stands erect while the lodge is at labor, while the Junior Warden’s column is laid prostrate; these positions are reversed during refreshment so that the state of the lodge is immediately apparent. Together with the Worshipful Master, the two Wardens form the tripartite government of the lodge.

What are the Wardens' columns and why are they raised or lowered?
The Wardens' columns are miniature pillars displayed at the stations of the Senior Warden and Junior Warden as emblems of their authority. The Senior Warden's column represents the pillar Jachin, while the Junior Warden's column represents the pillar Boaz. Educational guidance from the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario further identifies them with the right-hand pillar of strength and left-hand pillar of beauty at the porchway of King Solomon's Temple.
